Shopping tip 101
Shopping tip
One of the best ways to stay focused while shopping is to take a
picture with you out of one of your favorite magazines.
If you take an image with you, not only will it help you and a sales
staff to pull together the look you want, but it will also help you
stay focused on what you came to the store for in the first place as
well as save money.
Source your magazines-meaning pull out the information that inspires
you, put it in a binder and recycle the rest. I started doing this when
I was in college and it has been a lot of fun. It also saves time and
space.

Shoes

I love womens shoes. I have no idea why I love them as much as I do. It
is a true obsession.

All the girls in my family seemed to be afflicted with it, thought some
have it more then others.

I thought for the longest it was some weird little oddity that only my
family had.

How to Fit a Trench Coat
For Your Body Type

Bring your arms up to shoulder height and touch
your hands together in front of your body.

Bend down and pick up
something, like your handbag. If it feels comfortable during these
movements, then it fits correctly.Keep in mind that you don't
need to do gymnastics to confirm the coat fits.
Chances
are you won’t
be working out in your trench coat.

If you feel the overwhelming urge
to get some exercise in, it’s probably a good idea to wear active wear
instead.

If you're petite, look for a
coat that isn't too long
and whose collar isn't overly large.

It's really easy to look like a
turtle with an overly large collar when your height is average, but
when you are a petite size, even more so.

Tall women should look
for a coat that is long enough in both the arms and length. Make sure
it fits in these areas. Generally, a full-length sleeve should go to
your first knuckle.

How To Choose

Choose a color that will flatter your skin tone. Try on several
different coats in different colors.

Keep in mind that department stores don't always have the most
flattering lights. The right color should make your face glow with
health.

To be practical, buy a neutral color like black or tan. A neutral color
for your skin tone might be plum or olive.

As long as it goes with the rest of your wardrobe,choose a color with
which you resonate.

If you're top heavy, you will find raglan or dolman sleeves allow you
more room to move.

Top heavy women look best in a single-breasted coat rather than a
double-breasted one.

An inset shoulder seam should land on or slightly past where your
natural shoulder ends. Make sure the lapels lay flat.

If they pucker or bow out, it is either too small or the
lapels are cut too low for your body type.

History

Thomas Burberry invented the first trench coat in 1901.

It was designed initially for British officers during the first world
war.

In
1914 it was redesigned to have D-rings and shoulder loops
(which held epaulettes).

These changes came after the coats had been
used in the trenches (thus the name, "trench coat”).

Epaulettes were added to hold metals of rank and D-rings added for
grenades and other gear.

More then a hundred years after being designed initially for rain and
wind, people consider it a wardrobe staple.

Burberry, along with a plethora of other brands, design and redesign
the trench coat every year.

Burberrys
have been worn by the members of royal families all over the world.
They have graced the silver screen and have been donned by the rich and
famous.
